Hi guys,

I've been looking into having my Octy's badges changed for custom ones.

The plan is to change the badges on the grille, boot and maybe the steering wheel for this:

I want to have them custom made so they'd look like the stock ones. Image printed onto the badge and covered with plastic/rubbery thing.

In case if I'm not making my point there - I want it to look exaclty like the stock badges on the car, but have the above picture instead of the skoda graphics.

Now....would any of you here know where could I order a set of them? Or will I end up buyng original ones and modding them? Would that be possible? And how....

Thanks!!

Be sure to post some pics when you get them done

I sure will

But need somebody to tell me where/how first :P

Otherwise I end up buying a set of badges, sand them down (0.5mm), spray 'em black, spray the white skull on & clear coat (5 layers)....

PS. where do I get badges in IRL..? (online)

EDIT: Ok, I've found the front/rear badge (seems to be the exact same thing), but can't find the steering wheel one...would anybody know if it's the same as on the body? haven't got the car near me so can't check. Gonna go for DIY

New badges ordered. Will start ripping old ones off & modding as soon as I get the package. Just in case I screw something up, don't want the car to look raped

Might take another week as I spent 5h on parrot installation last night. Will post pics in ICE forum later

these badges would usually at least if by me be made from black vinyl base disk thena white vinyl mask and then topped with a 3d gel layer

although if it was for me id make the mask in chrome mirror silve ran dadd a mirror silver thin ring around the outside of the black disk to .

if u want to tryur self vinyl is 7 year exterior rade mactac sign vinyl and the 3d gel is called doming resin the resin aint that cheap though and no one sels a small amount to make 3 or 4 badges its all bulk for sign makers

the steering wheel badges we do are 55mm same as your wheel centers

therear badges are a bit contraversial as some say its not quite a circle and some say its 73mm round others 80 mm ect ect

how ever if u cant getthem done any were drop me a line im sure i can do em for you but i would need the badge sizes you want .
